This was one of the reasons that many people were against having the olympics in Vancouver. Certain places in the downtown east side get alot uglier than this. Helping these people out should have been the priority, but it is too late to complain about it now. This is the other side of Vancouver that you were not shown on tele. I quite like the graffiti, and you can find some great work if you just walk around and look for some.
Nice pics btw.

well somebody who thinks that everything shown on events like this is real must be the naivete in person cause it's actually the opposite.
the most ridiculous thing was when on the opening ceremony the natives appeared and everyone was like 'oh look how they live together and everything' after taking all their land, imprison them into reservations, hunting and abusing them for so long
